Fun and fast for 29 years! Since 1994, the Kensington 8k Race<\/a><\/a> has been a favorite DC area fall run- a fun, fast event with beauty, challenge, and excitement. <\/p>\n Known throughout the DC Area as a true community race- parents and kids cheer on each other and welcome visitors running through the town and Rock Creek Park. <\/p>\n The Kensington 8k benefits local schools. Four local schools- Kensington Parkwood ES, North Bethesda MS, Silver Creek MS, and Walter Johnson HS- benefit from the race proceeds, with more than a quarter million dollars raised since 2009! <\/p>\n If the 8k seems to be too long of a run, there is also a 2k and 1-mile run available. <\/p>\n The Kensington 8k Run will have same-day packet pickup and registration. <\/p>\n On race day, the day starts at 7:45 am with the 2-mile run, at 8 am the festival begins, the 8k starts at 8:30 am, the 1k begins at 8:35 am, awards start at 9:30 am, and the 8k & festival end at 9:45 am. <\/p>\n The Kensington 8k takes place September 24th, starting at 7:45 am, at 3710 Mitchell St<\/p>\n Kensington, MD US 20895.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fun and fast for 29 years!
